General information on data processing

a. Scope of the processing of personal data
‍We collect and use the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. The collection and use of our users’ personal data is of course only carried out with their consent. An exception applies in those cases in which, for practical reasons, it is not possible to obtain prior consent and the processing of the data is permitted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

‍b. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
‍In so far as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) point (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the EU serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data, which is necessary for the performance of a contract in which the data subject is a party, is Art. 6 (1) point (b) GDPR. This also applies to processing operations that are required to carry out pre-contractual measures.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) point (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) point (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 (1) point (f) GDPR serves as legal basis for the processing.

‍c. Deletion of data and storage duration
‍The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or no longer made available as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. In addition, the storage can take place if this is provided for by European or national legislators in Union regulations, or other regulations to which the person responsible for the processing is subject to laws. The data will also not be made available or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the above standards expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
